We are a collective of professionals dedicated to exploring green building and the technologies, practices, materials and designs that are at the forefront of this movement. We will work to dispel the myth that green building is more expensive and we hope that this blog not only informs but inspires people, businesses and communities to join us in creating a more sustainable urban environment.

Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba Form Recycling Co-op

The launch of this program is largely in response to Minnesota’s new law which makes vendors responsible for their brands’ discarded electronics.

Many of the older televisions contain lead, cadmium, and toxic flame retardants, but with care, materials such as metals and plastics can be recycled.

MRM is set to expand within the next year in Connecticut, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington states, and possibly in other states in coming years. Until then, Seattlites can count on Total Reclaim to recycle their electronics.
